About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, an old Exxon station in Texas came alive with strange music. A regular filling up his truck noticed it first—a soft, rhythmic humming that grew louder as he approached the gas island. As he filled up, the humming turned into a slow, bluesy guitar riff. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind the pump, smiling and saying, 'Thought you might like some company on your late-night run.' The regular nodded, grinned, and drove off, wondering if maybe the next time he’d bring his harmonica.
2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he noticed something odd in the reflection of the pump glass. A shadowy figure seemed to be standing there, watching him intently. Curious, the driver glanced around but saw no one. Just as he was about to dismiss it, the figure nodded slightly and mouthed ‘thank you.’ Startled, he filled up quickly and drove off, only to see the same enigmatic figure waving goodbye from behind the gas station sign. The next day, everyone in town told each other they’d seen the mysterious stranger too—except it was always someone else’s story.
3. Late one morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to refuel his truck, he noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. As he looked closer, he saw an old man waving frantically from behind the gas pump. Turning off the engine, the driver approached him with a smile, only to hear, ‘Son, could you please fill my car with exactly… five gallons? I’m on a diet!’
4. Late one morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to refuel his truck, he noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Your tank is full of luck today.’ The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, thinking it was some kind of glitch. But when he looked in his truck’s window, sure enough—his tank was brimming with petrol. With a smile, he paid for the fill-up and drove off, feeling lucky indeed. From then on, whenever anyone asked him how his day went, he’d wink and say, ‘I filled up at Exxon—they gave me a tank full of luck!’
